Birds of the Air

As I was walking my dog the other day, I noticed how she delighted in taking in every smell in the air around her & every scent on the ground. As she rolled in the grass, I smiled at the sheer joy my Penny dog was experiencing at that very moment.

The Nimrods of the World

I don't usually post things of a political nature, but this isn't political. It's about survival & national security. So here's the million dollar question:

How is it that a small minority of people in comparison to the world's population, is able to hold the world hostage to fear? How can such a small minority of evil, psychopathic bullies get away with terrorizing the world? There are NATIONS that know better than to mess with the United States or with other powerful nations, yet these evil terrorists have gone on for far too long, with their murderous thirst for blood, dominion & control, causing nations world-wide to alter the way we do things & to restrict our freedoms in the interest of national safety.

Being Nice or Being a Schmuck

I'm a people watcher. I can't help it. I find human behavior fascinating. I also care about people & feel a lot of compassion toward others. When I see someone hurting, I want to help. Often, strangers approach me & start a conversation because they see a friendly face & assume they can trust me. People consider me to be kind & someone they can count on to help out.

Savor the Moment

Today was an uneventful day. Although as a Christian, church is an important part of my life (albeit not as regular a part for me lately), I did not go to church today. My husband had to work & my daughter was with some friends. Aside from our cat & dog, I had the home to myself. I have a huge TO DO list a mile long, yet I just wasn't "feeling it" today. Plus, I had a whopper of a migraine. Seems I get a lot of those lately, partly due to the frequent air pressure changes that come from living in an arid Pacific coast climate & partly due to the fact that I have huge sleep issues at night. After awhile, lack of sleep takes its toll.
